School wastes valuable time.  About 1/3 of each day is wasted at school.

Lol wow
You wasted a ton of valuable time typing that post
Good job 

Well, I am currently wasting my time. I waste my time all the time, by:
- checking facebook/email when I know no one sent anything
- posting in misc
- playing games
- opening random programs, just to close them again
- thinking of an idea for a game, trying it, and failing
- writing this post
- looking at who's online in skype
- checking my watch
- looking at my files for no reason
- opening a new tab, going to a site, going back to new tab (repeating this for all the sites in the speed dial)
- browsing the all programs in the start menu
- playing with the task manager's processes before shutdown, even though I know they will all close anyway
- writing this post

Thanks for wasting my time 

By the way, I have a nice quote for you:

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out all of it, of course!

Each of us has such a bank. Its name is time. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft.

Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow."

You must live in the present on today's deposits. The clock is running. Make the most of today.

Yeah... Did you know that is you sleep for 12 hours every day and you lived to be 100, you basically only lived for 50 years, so might as well sleep less, and see how many years we each can live (I mean not including sleeping time).

No, I sleep about 7 or 8 hours per night.

6 hours of school per day including bus time. In a school year, you go to school 5 days a week and have 3 months / 14 weeks off altogether. 52 - 14 = 38, 38 * 5 = 190, 190 * 6 = 1140, 1140 / 24 = 47.5. You spend 47.5 days inside of a classroom every year. If you get 16 years of school in your life, that is 760 days of your life in school. That's only 2 years in your entire life of 70+.

That's a pretty good deal, considering that what you learn in those two years is very valuable. I feel sorry for
a) those who don't go to school at all,
b) but even more those who do go to school but waste time because of bad teachers

That is SO true
